Baker Hughes, a GE company has announced its successful name change to Baker Hughes Company. The company will be known as Baker Hughes, and on 18 October 2019, its Class A common stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ‘BKR’.

In a press release the company commented: “Baker Hughes is positioned as an energy technology company, with a diverse portfolio that spans the entire energy value chain. The company’s new name and brand better reflect its current and intended principal business operations and diversified portfolio.”
